Hi,

I've received two Cisco ASA 5505 and am unable to connect to the ASDM on either. Ive done all the basics and but something is clearly wrong somewhere considering its happening on both.

With the default settings on the ASA I am able to ping the ASA from the laptop and vice verse however when trying to browse to https://192.168.1.1 nothing happens at all, no errors etc. IE just shows that the page cannot be displayed, have even tried chrome.

Ok, the client you are trying from is in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet right?

Correct and they can ping each other.

I've tried a factory reset a couple of times after trying different things.

One would guess that the asdm and ASA version they shipped it with are compatible but also I downgraded to a version of ASA and asdm that must be around two years old and also tried loading a config from a ASA that we have in use. None of this has worked.

Very frustrating, have looked at countless articles over the last two days and it doesn't seem like I'm missing anything. Currently waiting for a po to be signed to get some smartnet support.

which mentioned about installing this VPN-3DES-AES activation key. I went onto this Cisco site and requested this activation key that was sent to me and then re running the ssl encryption key i can finally get onto the ASDM.

I dont fully understand why this was needed and havent had to do this before in my limited experience with ASA's. If anyone has any idea or could break this down for me it would be appreciated. I obviously understand that it was missing a license key but what exactly for etc?
